What We Do

Working with our partners the LGA, ADCS and Solace the SESLIP encourages and supports the political and professional leadership and management of local authority children’s services to demonstrate, develop and share good practice. Our programmes support the development of children’s services as learning organisations, focusing on:

identifying key strands of enquiry

analysing and comparing operational data about the services

using evidence to inform decisions, including evidence available from outside the region, where relevant

using peer challenge and peer review

building leadership capacity and capability, and

developing standards of practice through supportive endeavour

Purpose of this Website

The primary purpose of this website is to provide information and updates on the programme to staff of the 19 contributing authorities and to make this accessible to anyone who does business with them or an interest in improving Children’s Services.

The ‘latest news’ page gives a snapshot of current activity and is updated weekly.

Contact details for people leading the initiatives on behalf of the SESLIP are provided on the relevant pages or you can contact the Programme Manager, Richard Tyndall: Email: richard.tyndall@richardtyndall.co.uk Phone: 07880 787007
